The 75-300mm focal length is very useful
faster AF and reasonably solid performance
pretty sharp and clear with out a tripod

hideous noise and extremely poor resolution
The lens does not feature FTM (full-time manual focusing in AF mode
The various switches feel a little cheap

Canon Lenses Not yet tested Lens Review Navigate Review
Poor sharpness and contrast at 300mm
the lens comes with only a 1-year warranty
None so extensively as this lens
zoom action is quite loose on the sample
this post was not useful for you
no full-time manual override of autofocus
it was clearly audible and rather sluggish in operation
no physical focus distance scale
edge-sharpness is a little lackluster at the short end
III suffers from CA (Chromatic Aberration)
smooth zoom and focus rings
a slow lens at 300mm requires a lot of light
